I still don't like how a x.99 = x-second car. Just seems like a dick swinging contest when you say stuff like "Oh, I've got a 12 second car. It ran a 12.95."

Also, that Mustang officially needs a parachute now.

If it does it consistently then I don't see why it wouldn't be considered an X-sec car. This video, which was obviously edited, showed it getting faster which is expected during testing. If it ran an 8.9x a half dozen times then yeah, its an 8 sec car.

Uh, no. Reaction time is the time it takes from when the tree goes green until the car moves . I could take this exact car, sit for 5 minutes at the line after the tree went green and still rack off an 8.99.

that being said, I wish they were REQUIRED to tell the truth TWICE when asked and lie ONCE... and the judges need to be more specific with their questions... though I'm sure they'd all ask "how much nitrous" and "How many stages" and "what rear end" or "what width rear tires" and "how much does it weigh"

that would make it a bit more entertaining. Half the guys come in there and say "just a cam"
